United Waters - Live at Shea Stadium | Last Nights Presents Live

United Waters - Live @ Shea Stadium by LiveatSheaStadium

Back in early December 2011 Last Nights curated a fantastic lineup of musicians at Shea Stadium that included Decimus, Zaimph, New Monuments, & United Waters. I was unable to attend for reason out of my control. I was bummed, for various reasons.

Luckily Shea has come to my rescue & those of you who weren't, but I know desperately wanted to be there (is that stretching it?). United Waters entire set is up & ready to be streamed. A ram shackled Rock, check out Brian Sullivan's (of Mouthus) deep punk croon man. Who would have known? Some primal energy here, perfect for soundtrack for a beer.

United Water's debut album is available now via Arbitrary Signs.

Sore Eros "Just Fuzz" & Shea Stadium live set

Sore Eros - Live @ Shea Stadium by LiveatSheaStadium

Hey, back in July Last Nights organized a show with Sore Eros, Psychic Reality, Octo Octa, & Jonas Reinhardt DJing at Brooklyn's Shea Stadium. The night was a lot of fun & what's even better is that Shea has provided a stream of Sore Eros set that night for everyone who couldn't make it or want to groove on their psych-pop tunes. It's kinda like being there, I think... If not no matter it's a good listen!

Also be sure to check Sore Eros new LP "Just Fuzz" out now on Blackburn Recordings.

Last Nights Presents: MV & EE / Amen Dunes / Eleven Twenty-Nine

Last Nights Presents:


Thursday, August 11th
20 Meadow St., Brooklyn, NY
Doors 8:30pm
Tickets: $8

Last Nights is excited to continue or relationship with the mighty force that is MV & EE. This time joined by Amen Dunes, who himself is preparing to release his second full length LP "Though Donkey Jaw" via Sacred Bones August 16th. Tom Carter (Charamlabides) & Marc Orleans (Sunburned Hand of the Man) will be filling out the evening with performing in their ongoing collaboration as Eleven Twenty-Nine. An exciting night that promises to be full of some hooks & some six string skill.


MV & EE


- recently released "Country Stash" (Three Lobed) & "What I Became" (Woodsist)

www.mvandee.blogspot.com


Praise for "Country Stash" & "What I Became":


"Country Stash must stand as one of this artist’s most definitive and important releases to date, a release which seems to combine all those elements of psychedelic spectrasound, carefully-crafted real songs and the influence of those extended live jams all into a single album." -Andrew Ross (Volcanic Tongue)


Since what seems like the dawn of time, Matt "MV" Valentine has been cranking out (and cranking out) albums[…] Normally, such obsessive ejaculating of music eventually paralyzes creativity and castrates consumer interest, but with MV each sweet release is always a fresh endeavor. We can't help it; those irresistible rural psych nuggets make us weak[…] the best time to get into MV may have been years ago but don't fret… the nth best time is right now because he is to release his latest record, What I Became[…] - Tiny Mix Tapes


Amen Dunes


- 2nd full-length LP "Through Donkey Jaw" (Sacred Bones) out August 16th

www.myspace.com/amendunes


Praise for previous full-length DIA:


"I expected the cleverly-named Amen Dunes album entitled Dia to either serve more triple-layer lo-fi baked goods or some "freaky" (if unthreatening) country folk, but not both. Of course, it sounds natural, and effortless, and happens to be a scruffy, acoustic contribution to the lo-fi brigade, but sounds like dude isn't platting an overthrow, just making really good music." - Jeremy Krinsley, Impose Magazine


"As McMahon's tunes sharpen and deepen, he becomes like an American cousin to Kiwi songsmiths Alastair Galbraith, Chris Knox, and brothers Graeme and Peter Jefferies [...] The key to how McMahon can evoke those greats and still bring some of himself to the mix is his voice. On the surface his singing sounds raw and monotone, pitched in a droning hum and distorted at the edges. But listen closely and you can hear subtl changes that give DIA a surprising diversity. On "White Lace", his singing rises sharly, pulling his guitar along with it. He alternates tough moans and eerie falsettos in a Barrett-ish "Castles", and ghosts of know and Galbraith emerge via his openly earnest croons in "No Shot". By album's end, McMahon's meditative hums are pratically all that's left, like shells on a beaten shore glistening in the sunset. " - Marc Masters, Pitchfork


Eleven Twenty-Nine

- S/T debut (Northern-Spy) out now

www.northern-spy.com/artists/eleven-twenty-nine


Praise for Eleven Twenty-Nine:


“…zenith-ascension & raga blend(ing)s of clark hutchinson band & even the more guitar-centric bits in the popol vuh canon … no doubt in my mind that these are visionary players both, equally at ease pealing off “travelogue” lineage modal / pedal-point interplay, acoustic lap-steel / resonator glissandi, and even some heavy, amp-worship zones that point towards a blend of loren mazzacane connor’s bedroom confessionals & hendrix’ octaviated space-madrigals…” - Mimaroglu

“Tom and Marc have metabolized the folk, blues and rock forms to create a whole new dialect for guitar” - Jeff Conklin, East Village Radio

Last Nights Presents:

Last Nights Presents:

This Saturday July 2nd come join Last Nights at Shea Stadium for a night of fantastic music with the likes of

Sore Eros

A fantastic collision of lush sounds and textures, the record touches on "Blue Jay Way"-style psychedelic drone, melodic pop, and fractured country-rock, all brought together by soaring, cathedral-like production and intonated vocals. Now a fully-fledged three-piece with Andy Tomasello (of Eat Cloud) on drums and slide guitar, Sore Eros has begun to take their music directly to the people with a live show described by one concert-goer as "frighteningly no-filler... [A] fifth-dimension bar band performing an exorcism." -SHDWPLY

’ve read reviews that try to compare her work to early Björk, but I just don’t hear it. I think all of her material, though this record is her most lucid to date, is less traditionally beautiful than Björk. Instead, there is a reinvented grace and elegance. There’s a lot more here to the exposing and communication of the female soul. We hear a kind of playful intimacy, a vulnerable exchange of dreams, and girlish joy put on exhibition for the listener to experience. This is accomplished through the trippy rhythms and ethereal vocals that can be comforting, vivacious, and overwhelming that sometimes bring it all at once or presents itself as a tribute to a single instinct. -Foxy Digitalis

With an upcoming 12" on 100% Silk (Not Not Fun offshoot) Octo Octa brings some strong communal dance-music vibes.

Special Guest DJ Jonas Reinhardt

Marking their first appearance in NYC since the release of their stellar album Music For The Tactile Dome, Jonas Reinhardt will be the DJ for the evening, providing tunes that'll keep the vibes going throughout the night.

"San Francisco-based analog astronaut Jonas Reinhardt is somewhat of a standout amidst the pile-up of experimental electro-synth albums the last few years have seen. The dude’s got a clear talent for crafting fully-realized and super-polished tracks that can span genres and moods while still managing, bless his heart, to keep it all positive." - Sick Of The Radio

Thanks to all who came out to the Silk Flowers Record Release last Friday (2/4)! It was a great time. Happy so many people came out for the party and got to check out all the awesome bands. Shea Stadium, our gracious hosts for the evening, recently launched their own website (liveatsheastadium.com) and will hopefully be providing audio of each set in the near future.

...Anyway big thanks to Shea Stadium, Silk Flowers, Soft Circle, Mazing Vids, R.A.F. & all who came out!


On another note...

Some of you may have noticed the changes to the blog. I've decided it best to widen my focus a bit you could say. First of all I've merged my other blog with this one, creating a sole site for everything that myself & LSTN (Last Nights) are up. This includes the random ponderings and whatnot.

I've also been in the habit of booking & promoting more and more show as of late, rather than putting out an endless stream of recordings that few will buy. Still reserving the right for the occasional LSTN release but mainly everything will go the route of shows as far as promotion stuff goes. Hopefully more fun and useful!

Peace
SD
